Eggs, Snape in POA, and Viggo/Orlando

[Dina Lerret]

In between being sick, listening to HP audio books while in bed
that--without fail--makes me crave fried/over easy eggs (I'm trying to
avoid fried foods), then eating said greasy eggs which trigger a bit of
nausea, and repeating this step, I'm reminded of the Thanksgiving when the
smell of food made me want to up-chuck.  Heh, perfect timing when the
place was filled with cooking smells.

Back to the greasy eggs, one thing that did make me pause was the
differences in Snape's role for movie!POA and book!POA.  Snape was
unconscious during Lupin's transformation in the book and I'm curious as
to why Snape was briefly seen as the 'protector' in the movie.  I've had a
copy of POA since early June and I'm fairly certain that having an alert
Snape was not necessary for the movie.

One of the numerous things that made me go 'hmm'.

Oh, and I recently saw a link for this NZ LOTR:ROTK premiere shot which
has Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom *very* close together:

Other than warming my slashy heart, I'm wondering if Viggo is thinking
'Orlando's hair is in my eye'.

Going back to Thanksgiving, both Mortensen and Bloom are supposed to be
crashing at Dominic Monaghan's (per Monaghan) during the holiday and
someone reminded me of how Dom and Orlando must've 'adopted' this American
holiday.  I keep losing track of cultural differences.

C'mon, who wouldn't want to 'adopt' a holiday where you stuff your face
full of food to the point it makes you ill. {g}
